Sec. 834. ACTION OF COURT ON REPORT OF SALE    


Latest version.
  • After the expiration of five days from the date a report of sale is filed under Section 832 of this code, the court shall inquire into the manner in which the sale was made, hear evidence in support of or against the report, and determine the sufficiency or insufficiency of the guardian's general bond, if any has been required and given. If the court is satisfied that the sale was for a fair price, was properly made, and conforms with the law and the court has approved any increased or additional bond that may have been found necessary to protect the estate, the court shall enter a decree confirming the sale showing conformity with other provisions of this chapter relating to the sale and authorizing the conveyance of the property to be made by the guardian of the estate on compliance by the purchaser with the terms of the sale, detailing those terms. If the court is not satisfied that the sale was for a fair price, was properly made, and conforms with the law, the court shall issue an order that sets the sale aside and order a new sale to be made, if necessary. The action of the court in confirming or disapproving a report of sale has the force and effect of a final judgment. Any person interested in the guardianship estate or in the sale has the right to have the decrees reviewed as in other final judgments in probate proceedings.
